A funeral is a sacred space, and it is utterly reprehensible that someone would use this as a venue to enact violence. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened at the funeral of Tyre Nichols, as reported by multiple sources. This violent attack did not spare the mourners, and many were injured in the crossfire.

Metro Police Department officers arrived at the scene to find that one of the attackers had already been disarmed by mourners at the funeral. A statement from police says that the attackers were armed with at least one firearm and a variety of other weapons. Officers engaged the attackers, and a firearm was recovered at the scene.

Thankfully, due to the bravery of both the Metro Police Department and the mourners, the attack was subdued, and there were no casualties among the mourners. Several mourners were injured, but these injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Police are continuing their investigation into identifying the attackers and their motives.
